If you’re a nursing mom and even thinking about sleep training, chances are you’ve wondered, “Does sleep training mean I have to stop nursing overnight?”

Or worse, “Will sleep training tank my milk supply?” Or, “My baby probably won’t sleep through the night until I wean.”

In this episode, we talk about how:

• Sleep training does not equal weaning
• Breastfed babies can sleep through the night
• Dropping night feeds doesn’t have to tank your milk supply

I also share some practical tips for sleep training breastfed babies! Because you don't have to choose between breastfeeding and sleep, you can have both!

Click here to learn more about how we can help you make sleeping and breastfeeding work.

And we're answering that big question by answering these smaller questions:

• What if I want to enjoy a contact nap?
• Will sleep training make my baby a sleep snob?
• Does sleep training mean we’ll be stuck at home all day every day?
• We travel a lot. We’re not schedule-people. We have big kids and are busy with their activities. Can we still sleep train?

Learn how we balance sleep and real life, and how we, as sleep coaches, make sure we include these conversations while walking families through their personalized sleep training plans.

This week, we're continuing with those hesitations by answering the question, "How much will my baby cry during sleep training?" We'll talk about what's realistic when it comes to babies and toddlers crying during the sleep training process, what's not realistic, as well as ways that we, as sleep coaches, try to minimize crying!

If you want a personalized sleep training plan where we walk you through how to respond to the tears so you feel confident that the result will be sleep, book a free discovery call here so we can chat more!

It’s one of the most common—and emotionally charged—questions parents ask. If you’ve ever worried that sleep training might damage your bond with your baby, you are absolutely not alone.

In this episode, we’re diving into the research behind attachment and sleep training with psychologist, Dr. Shanna Sarita Alvarez, to answer the question: does sleep training affect attachment?

We cover:

1. What attachment actually is (and what it isn’t)
2. What the research really says about bonding and responsiveness
3. How to make sleep decisions that feel both confident and connected

If you’ve been stuck in the cycle of second-guessing, guilt, or fear around sleep training, this episode will give you clarity, reassurance, and a research-backed perspective.

Tune in to learn whether sleep training is safe for attachment—and how to move forward with confidence.

This week, I want to have some real talk about co-sleeping, both from a sleep coach's perspective and from a real mom who had to co-sleep!

And if you're currently a co-sleeping parent but are looking for help getting your baby or toddler sleeping in their own bed all night long, we'd love to help!

So this week, I'm sharing all about what it actually looked like to sleep train James, both the highs and lows.

I share how he did, as well as how I coached myself, sleep coach to mama, throughout the process, when things felt really hard. I also share the "afters" of how our day-to-day so quickly changed because our son was not only taking naps in his bed, but also sleeping through the night!

If you're curious to learn more about what it would be like to have this sleep coach and mama supporting you through sleep training your baby or toddler, click here!

Rather than being the "easy" last baby, however, he struggled with sleep from day one. We never had any intentions of co-sleeping and really weren't comfortable with it, but we didn't have another option the first several weeks of his life. He was not able to lie flat to sleep without making an awful grunting or choking noise for the first 12 weeks of his life, so we had to hold him upright for all naps and through the night.

In this podcast episode, I share all the details of those first 12 weeks, as well as the next several months of a roller coaster of sleep, as we continued learning more about what was going on (hint: airway issues!).

I share about how tough those sleepless nights were and how that impacted us as parents and as a family. And I share about when we finally got the green light to sleep train him!

In today's episode, I'll be answering those questions for you, so you can decide if and when sleep training is best for your family.

As fourth-time parents now, I have to admit that teething really doesn't faze me. Because I know that it's not the big-bad-monster it's often made out to be!

I'm not saying teething doesn't impact babies at all, but I am saying it doesn't usually affect babies as much as we assume it will.

So on today's episode, I'm diving into the world of teething for both babies and toddlers. I'm sharing how teething might impact your little one (and how it might not), as well as how teething might impact their sleep, specifically. 

Here are some of our favorite teething toys:

We have to shut the door so bugs don’t fly in, or so we don’t waste the AC. We have to buckle up in the car so we are safe. We cover our mouth when we cough so we don’t spread our germs.

From my experience as a mom and a sleep consultant, however, parents don’t usually teach their kids about sleep as explicitly, but we can and I think we should!

So in this episode, I’m sharing different ways we can talk about sleep with our kids:

• Why they have to sleep with their door closed
• Why they can't watch TV right before bed
• Why the lights have to be off
• Why they even have to sleep

And more!

The goal here is to not only teach them more about sleep and how it works, but to also equip them to start taking more ownership over their sleep that will even serve them into adulthood!

There does come a time, however, when it's time to transition out of the swaddle. Yes, once your baby is trying to roll over, the swaddle needs to be gone for safety reasons. But I recommend transitioning out of the swaddle based more on age rather than physical skills.

• When you should stop swaddling your baby
• Two ways you can transition your baby out of the swaddle
• How your baby's sleep might change when you stop swaddling
• What sleep sacks to use once you're done swaddling

She also shares how having such a long road to get her miracle baby made it tougher to decide if and when they wanted to sleep train - she talks about the guilt that so quickly came up. 

In my nine years of marriage, we have moved NINE times, seven of which included kids. So to say we have learned a few lessons about moving with kids is an understatement!

In this episode, I am sharing my top tips for moving with kids, with the ultimate goal of not only making packing and unpacking more smooth, but to also keep sleep on track as much as possible.

And if your child's sleep gets really thrown off from moving, I'm also sharing what to do!

It's a common scenario for all of us: Friday hits, we're excited to stay out late, sleep in on Saturday, maybe do the same Saturday night, catch a Sunday nap...but then Monday hits, and despite getting extra sleep over the weekend, you feel like you've been hit by a bus.

The reason? Social jet lag!

Our adult sleep coach, Kathryn, is sharing what social jet lag is and why it wreaks such havoc on adults' sleep, and she also shares some practical tips for how to feel rested all seven days of the week!

Sometimes, however, we can't (or don't!) breathe through our noses, due to habit or another physical restriction. Sometimes that restriction is a high palate! Oral myofunctional therapists are one type of provider who can help retrain your jaw and tongue to work together to achieve optimal breathing.

In this episode, we're interviewing Erica Cavaluzzi, an oral myofunctional therapist of Facial Fitness & Well-Being. She is helping us understand:

• What myofunctional therapy is
• Why mouth breathing is an issue
• How to stop mouth breathing (it's a loaded question!)
• How high palates can be connected to mouth breathing
• How orthodontics can both help and hurt

And so much more!

• CS1 and CS2 (must-haves!)
• SER is ideal, as it teaches more inside-the-mouth work
• PED1 and CPBB, specific to pediatrics

In this episode, Candy Baracat-Donovan, a Lactation Counselor with Like a Sister, is sharing both her personal and professional experience with lip and tongue ties so we can better understand the signs and symptoms, as well as the next steps to take if oral ties are suspected.

Or maybe your baby was already struggling with sleep, and the four-month sleep regression made it that much worse, and you're exhausted.

The tough news is, the four-month sleep regression is pretty unavoidable. While some babies truly don't seem to be affected much, all babies' sleep goes through an actual, physical change around four months old!

So in this episode, we're covering:

Weaning a baby from overnight feeds, however, is not just a one-step process, and I wanted to make sure I had all of the information I needed to give her the best advice possible.

I then asked her if she'd be willing to chat over Zoom so I could record our night-weaning conversation and share it on this podcast! So on this episode, you get to listen in and hear the routine suggestions I gave her as she's preparing to wean those night feeds, as well as the different method options she and her husband can choose from.

We were going to miscarry this tiny baby.

I quickly realized how little I knew about miscarriage, what my options were, and what it might actually look like, because people just don't really talk about miscarriage.

So in this episode, I'm opening up the conversation around miscarriage, because it's a lot more common than it is talked about. 

I dive into the details of our miscarriage, starting with the day we found out our baby was no longer growing, and I walk through both our physical and emotional experiences through it all. 

My goal here is to simply have the conversation that I wish I would have had years ago, in hopes that it would be helpful for you and those you know, as well.

When it comes to baby and toddler sleep, and most things in parenting, I have found that all it takes is a plan, AND a whole lot of grace. So that's what this podcast is all about!

All it Takes is a Plan will primarily be about sleep and sleep training, because that's our superpower here at Via Graces. But we're also parents who wear many hats. I'm currently a stay-at-home mom but also run a business. I'm a breastfeeding mom, a soccer mom, a cancer mom, and now a homeschool mom. So I'll also be sharing about other areas of motherhood and parenting that have worked well for us, where we've stumbled, and what's just been really hard.

You'll also hear from guest experts who will share more "plans" and more "graces" with us, because we all need it!
